The manager of cafe sobar, Jason Loftus, has been running this CiC for seven years, and along with the cafe runs several creative projects within it. Cafe sobar is under the umbrella of #DoubleImpactNottingham previously on #RecoveryTalks
#CafeSobar has poetry groups, music groups, and other creative meetings. Before lockdown #CafeSobar was doing music shows and poetry readings where performers were almost all in #Recovery. The cafe was used very much as a community hub for people to go for help with their recovery.
Jason is passionate about getting through the layer of addiction to the creativity within each person, that has maybe been put aside for their #Addiction. He wants to create a safe space for creativity for those in recovery and wants them pursue these dreams and facilitates this, with poetry and music and other creative arts.
Service user Grzegorz (happy to be called Greg). He stated his life was saved by cafe sober and has been abstinent for three years after his most recent relapse, but is open about his recovery journey. He is encouraged to engage in his passions which is working well for him.
